Partnering With Matt & Kim to The Rescue

Easy Living Guide

Posted 19 Nov 2015

We are excited to announce our involvement with a very worthwhile and important project with Channel 9’s Matt and Kim to the Rescue!

They approached us and told us of a very inspiring couple, Ray and Ruth. Together, they've battled more than their fair share of health and financial issues yet despite that, their positive attitude and generosity has never wavered. Because we are Built Around People and love to support the community that we have called home for close to 40 years, we never hesitated in getting involved after hearing their story.

Their story soon filtered through the Summit Homes Group team and we were inundated with volunteers wanting to help. Close to 200 staff generously gave up their time and swapped their office clothes for safety glasses, gloves and steel capped boots to help out where they could. Many of our valued suppliers were also touched by Ray and Ruth’s story and have generously donated their materials and time to help make this project become a reality.

Along with Matt and Kim, Jeff Edgar, our Summit Home Improvements Building Manager put his hand-up to plan and project manage this unique renovation. He was the perfect choice to lead the transformation, having managed literally thousands of other renovation jobs in his almost 30 years with the company.

A huge amount of planning, sweat and muscles went into this, and there have been smiles and laughter all the way. We have been overwhelmed by the support and generosity our team has shown and can’t wait to show you the finished result. After all, when great people come together, great things happen. A team that is Built Around People can make magic!
